    Hubby booked a time slot online for 2.15 in the afternoon.He"d paid for passport photos and drove over there to be told the jobs had long gone.Not happy ,loads of others still going in building too.A total waste of time and money!Was only for 3 wks work in Dec as well!

    Something similar happened when I went along, someone informed us all that there were no day shifts left but they could still go through the process and their name would be put down.

    Luckily for me I wanted to do nights which was still available.
  • Does anyone know if they sometimes recruit people AFTER the official round of interviews? Perhaps if some people have dropped out, or just not turned up?

    i would think they will just recontact those who were unsuccessful from the original applications

    I should have read the above. I also attended an "interview" today only to be told the jobs had long gone and I was to be placed on a waiting list. A waste of time.
